Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual, for anyone without access to electric entertainment of any form, has become the first debut album in history to rack up four top-five singles. Name those tunes and, very likely, you can sing a chorus, along with all the Lauper loopies who cover the age spectrum, from dress-alike five-year-olds to grannies gone groovy: All Through the Night; She Bop, which inverted Gene Vincent's classic Be-Bop-a-Lula into a thoroughly unapologetic paean to female autoeroticism; Time After Time; and Girls Just Want to Have Fun, a kind...
Professor Kilson demonstrates how out of touch he is with Black students, both at Harvard Radcliffe and around the country, Harvard Radcliffe and around the country. He fails to realize that Black students who sing in Kuumba gospel concerts, participate in Association of Black Radcliffe Women cultural show, organic classes in Swahili, or perform plays with Black C.A.S.T.-enrich the cultural and social life of the entire University.

Anderson's unsettling imagery and aggressively minimalist music hardly make for relaxing listening, but United States is a landmark in the art of the '80s, a guided tour through a post-punk apocalypse led by an innocent at home whose sense of the ironic is the only sure...
Ginsberg: I like to sing with the Clash, I was on their last album. I've also made some movies with Bob Dylan. I'm supposed to be doing some work with "X" sooner or later. I like the Dead Kennedys and Sting. I ran into Sting at a birthday party for [William] Burroughs last year. Burroughs has had an enormous effect on new wave pop music. There are a lot of bands that use his terms like "soft machine." He's talking on a Laurie Anderson record now. I think that is natural because the poetry runs back...
